Description:Critics have long been so much fascinated by the vivid beauty of Jean Racine’s verses that they long neglected the unspoken truths that lurk in the shadows. At the core of Jean Racine’s dramaturgy lies silence. Whether it results from a deliberate strategy or from an inability to speak, silence is governed by political ambitions, codes of civility, theatrical bienséances as well as religious practices. Silence betrays an intention that needs to be clarified and that feeds the spectator’s interest.This study argues that Jean Racine’s tragedies revolve around the struggle against an unbearable confession. Long hidden, concealed, and repressed, this confession has devastating effects. Drawing on this constant tension between silence and declaration, Jean Racine’s dramaturgy undermines the lofty structure of Aristotelian poetics and imposes a new vision of the tragedy. Action relies not on speech anymore but on silences. These silences revive and complicate –rather than suspend– action. Therefore, mankind is not doomed anymore by Pythic prophetesses and almighty gods, but by its enduring freedom to speak or to remain silent.From the publisher's website (https://www.droz.org/world/en/6607-97...)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
